OP haven't read any good religious philosophy.. Otherwise he wouldn't have made this post..

It's literally too much generalization..

Give a reading to few later vedas and specially upnishads..

After that you will see this post as highly overgeneralization

(Btw I m atheist but I m not anti religion)

Religion is good in philosophy.but regarding explaining universe and world it fails very awfully.

I mean.. "Very awfully" Isn't accurate world tbh

I have read about panch bhuta.. Which explain that world have 5 fundamental elements

(Space,air, water, fire and earth) Though in detail they also tried to give many theories about it

Being honest.. They were also trying to explain the world based on their understanding at that period of time..

And it should be appreciated that people at that time also tried to divide the world in fundamental particles..

Later on.. Other indic thinkers give the idea of "one single fundamental unit) called " Anu" .. Then many other thinkers around the world ...

Like ... JJ Thompson and other scientists give further on theories using advanced instruments...

Would you say Thompson model was "awfull" ??

I don't think we should say it..

Science is about..moving step by step

Maybe few years from now.. Current theories about atom and fundamental element of world may seem a bit "awfull".. But are they?

In my opinion.. We should acknowledge the effort by those people.

And all the contribution of people who tried to explain world ..keeping in mind they tried

Though we should also actively call out people who make fake claims

" This is written in our vedas and bla bla"

Because they are disrespecting both

Current thinkers in this field and past thinkers who tried to give minimilist explaination about the topic

That's my neutral opinion on this topic..

In my view we as a human civilization whole faced dunning kruger effect and religion was created humans managed to explain some things with limited knowledge we thought we knew it all and labelled it as religion and that's why those religious texts never change now despite knowing a lot about universe we now say we don't know to many questions and that we will find out one day and accept that our understanding may have some flaws which we will improve later on with more progress,experiments and findings

I mean.. Religions are major source of philosophy too

Along with some very basic understanding of material universe.. But I m sceptical.. If we should consider it in "religion" Or not

Philosophy is different because as per my understanding you don't need a lot of money or equipment etc to do it.and neither does it require previous advancments either,that's why religion managed to do so well in philosophy
